As Noveller, Austin post-rock composer Sarah Lipstate creates vast
landscapes of sound, the kind of music that drifts through the air and
fills in the space around you. So she makes a fascinating foil for the
jarringly visceral Iggy Pop, who she’ll be supporting on the imminent Post Pop Depression tour. One fine example of Lipstate’s powers is “Glacial Wave,” a six-minute slow-burn from Noveller’s recently reissued Glacial Glow. Today the song gets a video by Fractal Visuals that amplifies its feeling of neon-lit darkness. It’s a mythic tale
featuring three characters — The Creator, the Future, and the Protector —
and it looks as ominously pretty as the music sounds.
